<p>Mentor Sessions Ep. 049: Jeff Booth vs Simon Dixon: Bitcoin&#39;s Abundant Future or Total Dystopian Nightmare?</p><p><br></p><p>What if Bitcoin&#39;s promise of a deflationary free market utopia crushes the global surveillance state—or traps 95% in a multipolar prison of programmable money, elite control, and endless chaos? In this must-watch, visionary Jeff Booth clashes with geopolitical expert Simon Dixon on whether Bitcoin enforces abundance for all through unstoppable privacy tech like Fedi and Nostr, or merely offers an escape hatch for the few amid dollar demise, AI weaponization, and financial industrial complex capture. From Venezuela&#39;s turmoil and Iranian protests to UK thought police and precious metals surges, they expose how centralized custody in ETFs and treasury companies co-opts Bitcoin, risking chain forks and surveillance nightmares. Jeff&#39;s optimistic blueprint for agency-driven freedom battles Simon&#39;s stark warnings of hybrid systems where the masses &quot;own nothing and be happy,&quot; tying into Bitcoin self-custody, decentralized mining, and circular economies as your shield against fiscal dominance and currency wars. If you&#39;re stacking sats in a Bitcoin-only world, this debate reveals why privacy isn&#39;t optional—it&#39;s your path to sovereignty or subjugation.
